How To Find My Anydesk Password

To set up AnyDesk unattended remote access on any PC for first time use, follow the steps below.

• First, download AnyDesk from the official website. It must be present on both the guest and remote devices. No installation is needed as the remote software runs in portable mode.

How to access the unattended device?

There are three types of settings for any incoming connection request. Based on the Settings here, the user trying to access your unattended device will be given the option to enter the password.

Follow the same procedure as for sending a normal connection request. Depending on the user’s Interactive Access settings, the device owner may or may not get the pop-up option to accept or decline the request. But regardless of that, you also have the direct option to enter the password to access your device if the unattended access feature is enabled.

How to enable unattended access to your computer and set a password using AnyDesk

1. First, install the application. If you haven’t downloaded the app yet, please visit AnyDesk. Once you have downloaded the app, a temporary version will be installed. To install the correct PC version, click «Install AnyDesk».

2. Click «Accept and Install» 3. Click «Set Password for Unattended Access»

Where can I find the file that stores the AnyDesk user information?

AnyDesk stores your AnyDesk ID, username, and in some cases a namespace locally. This is so you can simply migrate that account to a new machine or create a manual backup. The configuration text file is called service.conf and can be found in these locations on your computer:

• Windows XP, Server 2003 — %appdata%AnyDesk (not installed) or %AllUsersProfile %Application DataAnyDesk (installed)
• Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 — %appdata%AnyDesk (portable) or %programdata%AnyDesk (installed)
• Android 7 and app version 5.3.2 or earlier — root/data/data/com.anydesk.anydeskandroid/files/.anydesk/
• Android 7 and app version 5.3.4 and later (including Credential Encrypted Storage or CE ) — root/data/user/0/com.anydesk.anydeskandroid/files/.anydesk/
• Linux — /etc/anydesk/ (installed software) ~/.anydesk/ (portable version)
• macOS — ~/.anydesk/ (portable app) /etc/anydesk/ (installed app)

AnyDesk mouse does not work.

Make sure «Control my computer’s keyboard and mouse» is checked. In some cases, starting AnyDesk as an administrator on the remote side can resolve this issue.

If you find that the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V hotkeys do not work, please enable the following options: “Control my computer keyboard and mouse”, “Access my computer clipboard”, “Access my computer’s clipboard to transfer files” on the Security tab.
